Yay it's Tuesday! It's the most relaxing day of my week. Math lesson was rather funny today. Wednesday Thrusday Friday.
I just noticed that I'm turning the volume of the ipod roughly 20% higher compared to a few months ago. Another worrying matter: my parents tell me my relatively new violin is getting louder and louder.
PLEASE SPEED READ THE FOLLOWING:
That's cus it's a literally new one - unused before. So it becomes more seasoned and settled when I exercise it (prescribed steps from my teacher), making the sound come out more. It's called, growing your violin. My teacher prefers old violins cus they are more seasoned in sound. But I like new ones cus I get to "train" them. So she would be picking based on the sound at its peak, while I would be choosing based on it's potential to produce good sound. Practically, the choose-based-on-potential would be more value for money because there is some sort of extra surprise element in it that shows itself after practicing on it. Some sort of motivation.
SLOW DOWN NOW...
But anyway, back to the point. The violin is getting louder, but I don't find it getting louder, in fact, softer. I think my ear is almost a gone case. Whenever my mom enters my room during violin practice, she keeps asking me how I can stand the loudness. And nowadays, I can't be bothered to chuck the ear plug into my ear because it makes everything sound so weird my brain hurts. Gah.. My next ear check is in September. I hope I don't do too badly in the ear test. They don't test more than 8kHz. That time Mr Chua let everyone listen to the wave generator thingy, I couldn't hear at 14kHz. And that's also when I started panicking because I realised I was the deafest in class, unless there were others who didn't bother to put up their hand as well.
I don't want PE tomorrow. I want to race with a snail, and boost its ego a bit. The champion of the World SNail Racing Championship had an amazing speed of 0.013m/s.
